The ruler of two kingdoms (living and spiritual)
One who went to 'Arsh on Mi'raj
The one who protects the dignity of sinnersIts our yearning desire to visit you
To shed tears that would fill seas
To show you our wounded hearts
To cry out in front of youO Lord fulfil this supplication
That we should visit our patron
First we should recite a few hymns
Then recite with head bowed
